The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
‘T is mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown:
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God’s
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea;
Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence ‘gainst the merchant there.
The Merchant of Venice,Act IV,scene I..I had to learn it verbatim in seventh grade😉

Pillows lying on your bed

bookerdana · M
The most comforting things are personal and often non-verbal...

Your avat😱ar is really scary,man.. I may need several ASMR tapes to sleep,tonight..I knew it was madness to drop bean!🤣
SW-User
@bookerdana Wuuuut, this one is hardly scary, the one before this I can understand.
And you're right @ personal and non-verbal words being of the most comfort.
